One of the key Chinese provinces is Zhejiang, on the east coast of China, which has various manufacturing industrial clusters. Below we present prominent industries in Zhejiang Province, China.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Zhejiang Province in China<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Zhejiang is an eastern coastal province of China. It is bordered by Shanghai to the north. Zhejiang is one of the smallest and wealthiest provinces and one of the most developed (next to Guangdong Province in the south of China).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Zhejiang is often credited for accelerating the economic development of the People&#8217;s Republic of China. Its rapid development in the 1980s and 1990s was a model for other regions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There are many production areas of products from various industries in Zhejiang. The clusters are in:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Ningbo (a southern economic center of the Yangtze Delta megalopolis)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Jinhua<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Hangzhou<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Wenzhou<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Taizhou<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Shaoxing.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Zhejiang is the most industrially diverse province in China; it ranked first in the top 100 Chinese industrial clusters. There are at least 36 industrial clusters in Zhejiang.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Zhejiang Province area is 101 square kilometers and has over 64.5 million inhabitants. Its main cities are vast; the province is divided into prefecture-level cities (11), further divided into counties or county-level cities (90). An even smaller administrative unit is a municipality (urban and rural; over 1,500 in Zhejiang).<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP\/\/\/yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7\" data-src=\"https:\/\/examinechina.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/industries-in-zhejiang-province-china-map-scaled-1-1024x768.jpg\" alt=\"Industries in Zhejiang Province, China map\" class=\"wp-image-2595 lazyload\" style=\"width:700px\"\/><noscript><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" src=\"https:\/\/examinechina.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/industries-in-zhejiang-province-china-map-scaled-1-1024x768.jpg\" alt=\"Industries in Zhejiang Province, China map\" class=\"wp-image-2595 lazyload\" style=\"width:700px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.examinechina.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/industries-in-zhejiang-province-china-map-scaled-1-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.examinechina.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/industries-in-zhejiang-province-china-map-scaled-1-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.examinechina.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/industries-in-zhejiang-province-china-map-scaled-1-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.examinechina.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/industries-in-zhejiang-province-china-map-scaled-1-1536x1152.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.examinechina.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/industries-in-zhejiang-province-china-map-scaled-1-2048x1536.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/noscript><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How to ship goods from Zhejiang Province?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Goods from China are often <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shiphub.co\/maritime-transport\/\" rel=\"noopener\">shipped by sea<\/a>.

A well-organized supply chain system increases export capacity, which is not a problem for Zhejiang Province since its goods are mainly exported via the ports of Shanghai and Ningbo-Zhoushan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>China&#8217;s policy of opening to the world accelerated the development of the Chinese market and China\u2019s expansion into foreign markets. China is the largest producer in the world (about 28% of total world production); its manufacturing clusters differ from province to province.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The most important manufacturing areas in Zhejiang are cities such as Ningbo (small household appliances), Jinhua (tools, commodities), Wenzhou (footwear), Taizhou (porcelain, plastic, and rubber products), Hangzhou, and Shaoxing (textiles and clothing).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you are looking for specific groups of products, you should find out in which part of China they are usually produced. Then, you can plan a business trip to the region to see the products and check the quality for yourself. Typically, if there is a manufacturing cluster, trade fairs are often organized nearby, which are a great opportunity to find new business partners. Zhejiang is a province that has a lot to offer importers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Read our <a href=\"https:\/\/examinechina.com\/blog\/category\/import\/\">guides on importing from China<\/a>:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/examinechina.com\/blog\/importing-tools-from-china-to-the-us\/\">Importing tools from China to the US<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/examinechina.com\/blog\/importing-toys-from-china-to-the-eu\/\">Importing toys from China to the EU<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/examinechina.com\/blog\/importing-handbags-and-backpacks-from-china-to-the-us\/\">Importing handbags and backpacks from China to the US<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/examinechina.com\/blog\/importing-electronics-from-china-to-the-eu\/\">Importing electronics from China to the EU<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/examinechina.com\/blog\/us-tariffs-on-shoes-from-china\/\">Importing shoes from China to the US<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/examinechina.com\/blog\/import-of-seasonal-products-from-china\/\">Import of seasonal products from China<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>One of the characteristics of manufacturing in China is regional specialization (block economies that vary across provinces).
